Have they been replaced by proper British workers yet or were these jobs that didn't need to be done?

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

To lose one Brexit Secretary is sloppy; to lose two is... what, coffee?

Bill called James O'Brien to admit that he was wrong to vote Leave during the EU Referendum.

And he sobbed as he asked: "What have I done to my country? I'm so sorry."

But James told him: "Bill, there's 17.4million people. You can't take all the blame on your own shoulders.

"Look at the effort. These people are billionaires. They own The Ritz, they own the Daily Telegraph.

"They wouldn't have spent all that money and put all that effort into trying to act against your own interests if they didn't think it was plausible.

"I'm not going to let you blame yourself, Bill. No.

"Blame them, Bill, blame them. Do not blame yourself. Don't be sorry, be angry. And if you're not angry yet, I'll be angry on your behalf.

"That right there is why I've been doing what I've been doing for the last two and a half years."

coffee wrote:“Prime Minister has been surrounded throughout this process by a Pretorian [sic - they can't even spell] Guard of highly pro-European senior civil servants who, I believe, have never accepted the result of the referendum”

They don't have to: all they have to do is do their job. Now, if any Brexiteer had any evidence civil servants were actually inappropriately influencing Ministers, it'd be headlines in the Daily Fail, wouldn't it?

An EU archive of “Euromyths” printed in UK media that dates back to the early 1990’s has been making the rounds on social media as the UK and EU agree terms on Britain’s exit from the union.

The website, which offers officials in Brussels a chance to rebut media accusations of meddling, features hundreds of reports that are based on inaccurate or misleading information.

One published by the Sun in 2006 claims “nutty” EU officials want to rename Bombay mix Mumbai mix “to make the snack politically correct” in a report dubbed “completely ludicrous” by EU officials.

Other stories include speculation that curved bananas are to be banned, a one-size-fits-all “euro condom” is to be rolled out and that Britain would be forced to get rid of pints, acres, inches, feet and pounds in favour of metric measurements.

oh yes, Dom, you did SO well in your brief time in charge Re more of the Brexidiots, supposed intellectual Melanie Phillips, appearing on Sky News Press Preview, seemed to be shaken by learning (from Ian Dunt) that the EU does not need us more than we need them simply because they export more than import from us - the relevant difference is that the other 27 are a much bigger export market for Britain than Britain is for them. Whoever said that truth will out?
